When couples disagree about whether love is emotion or action

My husband and I have been having the same fight for months about whether love is something you feel or something you do, and it's affecting every interaction we have. When he does loving things without the feeling behind it, I feel manipulated; when I feel love but don't show it his way, he feels unloved.
